The FHWA-NC Traffic Operations and Highway Safety Unit provides overall coordination and oversight for projects and programs in North Carolina designated to eliminate highway fatalities and serious injuries while maintaining efficient traffic operations. These projects and programs include the Highway Safety Improvement Program, intersection safety, roadway departure elimination, roadside obstacle clearance and shielding, pedestrian and bicycle safety, work zone safety and mobility, signing and pavement markings, occupant protection, human factors in traffic engineering and roadway design, highway/railroad grade crossing safety, interchange justification and traffic flow, and guidance on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
The primary source for federal, state, local, and other highway safety agencies and advocates to achieve improved highway safety is the North Carolina Executive Committee for Highway Safety (NC-ECHS). The FHWA-NC Traffic Operations and Highway Safety Unit provides support for all the NC-ECSH working groups tasked with developing strategies to reduce or eliminate specific causes of highway fatalities and serious injuries. The Traffic Operations and Highway Safety Unit also provides guidance for the continued implementation of the North Carolina Strategic Highway Safety Plan and reporting on progress made in the execution of the North Carolina Highway Safety Improvement Program. More information on the strategic plan and the NC-HCHS can be found at the NC-ECSH Website.
